Stars on Our Emotional Journey

Society puts a lot of pressure on us to be in a relationship.It‘s so powerful that many people end up settling for someone who isn’t right for them, just to conform to society’s standards. We’re afraid tobe alone, of what societywill saywhenthey look at us. We‘re in a rush to choose someone who we think will bea perfect match.

“Either way, I don’t know if I’m a star, a planet or a black hole, but I demand stars on my emotional journey. The older I get, the more I can identify those who aren’t. It’sone of theperksof getting older. You can see themallcoming fromlight years away.

There are big screen loves and short story loves. Loves worthy of films and loves that barely lasttwenty seconds.Thedifference is thatthe former onlyhappen once. Andthe latter, like it or not, you are doomedto repeatas often asthey please, even againstyour will.“

You deserve whatever makes you feel the best

You’ve probably had a lot of failed relationships. Don’t look to place the blame. It’s usually our own wrong ideas about love that make these relationships fail.

It’s not about waiting for Mr. Right to give us a kiss like in the movies. To take us away in his convertible and travel the world with our overflowing passion. Demanding stars on our emotional journey means only one thing: the person you deserve is one who wants to make you happy, and one which is happy being with you.

And when you find that person, you’ll notice that nothing compares to being with someone who is willing to work through your differences and conflicts in order to be with you.

Because when we find the right person, you can simply tell. You can tell because when they hug you, they put all of your broken pieces back together again.

Because starshave their own lightand, since they never stopshining, they destroyall of the darknessin their wake.AsRistosays, it’sa light that makes you fall in love. Because it’s freeanddoesn’t depend onanything or anyone.

Love isn’t nurtured by need, but by preference.So, for couples, emotional independence is ideal. And that’s what we should strive to obtain. Because preferring someone is immensely more enriching and healthy than needing them.

Our stars light up any place and moment, regardless of where they are. However, we should keep in mind that our stars self-consume simply by shining. They may run out of energy if the stars next to them don’t pitch in. If they don’t offer them some intensity and motive to keep on shining.

Therefore, maybe another one of our wrong ideas about love is thinking that because a love is clean and shiny, it’s eternal. The truth is that we have to do our part, work on it, care for it and shine together.

Being acouplemeans building ateam.Andteamworkdoesn’t mean beingdependent,but cooperatingwith the sameenthusiasm with whichwe look atthe starsevery night.And theynever fail. They are always there,accompanying us in the sky despitethe cloudsblockingour view.

We have to keepin mind thatthere aren’t certain times whenweshouldstart a relationshipbecause it seems thatit’s appropriate. Instead, we should demand from ourselves nothing less than the company of an idealpartner to help shineour love.

Love is in the small details. Hugging you. Sleeping by your side. Reading a book beside you. Sitting down and thinking about you. Getting a phone call from you. Going to bed and having you enter my thoughts. Feeling happiness…
